Garrett being silly!

So since the last post not much has happened. We took Garrett to a new doc Friday hoping to get him on the right track with his meds. I loved this Doctor! He was a pediatrician for several years and has become a physiologist for children as well. So he is very thrall and asked several questions! Garrett really liked him as well. He is an older doctor and just by talking with him for 30 I can tell he's very smart and loves his job!!!! He right away agreed with me that straterra is NOT what he needed to be on and that he was not a fan of straterra for the fact that it does cause children with add/adhd to be more aggressive. He did ask A LOT of questions and informed us that he did need to be on a stimulant and gave us some suggestions. We decided to try the Ritalin patch, which is a lot more helpful to Garrett because he won't have to take pill during school hours! The doctor said also with the patch the children have a better appetite. So we get to start the patch on Monday, the pharmacy didn't have it on Friday but will have it first thing in the morning. We will let you know how it goes!

We got to take the boys to the county fair Friday night and Garrett had a lot of fun. Darin only rode a few rides, he said he was to scared to ride most of the rides. Of course Garrett and Darin both wanted to all the games the carnies had set up and it was hard to explain to them that the games were just not worth the money! We let them play a couple and Garrett quickly learned what we were saying about not worth the money, he put it as "they are cheating"! LOL Which is more than likely with carnies!

Hope all is well and would love to hear from everyone, may God Bless all of you and have a wonderful week!

I

New at this

So I'm new at this so lets see if I can do it!!

Today has been uneventful, like normal days for me. Since some of you may not know, it's been hard for me to find a job in this small town. One is because of Rodney's work schedule he works really odd hours and it's impossible to find a sitter that will work with us & his hours. The other is Garrett. Since we've lived here we have had his med's change up and down and most can't deal with Garrett and have a full load of other kids to care for at the same time. So there for the one job I did have was a loss because of Rodney's work schedule and the sitter having problems with Garrett and me needing to pick them up earlier than normal or her kids were sick a lot. Supposedly!! We go tomorrow to see a new doctor to hopefully get Garrett back on the right track with his meds. I am hoping that this doctor is better than this last one we had, she wasn't even a doc she is a ARNP and she was quick to change meds and tried to tell us he was bipolar and he has NO sign's of that at all! I am so thankful a new doc has moved to this area that is a specialist in this field! I will let you know how that goes!

School starts on the 18th of Aug. and I have to enroll Garrett on the 4th, the day before his 9th birthday! WOW 9 already, where did that time go?!!!! Well Darin turned 4 this last May and will be starting in preschool this year. I know he's going to love it, he's real big about going to school with bubba, lol. But little does he know that the preschool is in a whole different building! But I'm sure he'll love it, some of his friends will be there. As for me it will be interesting to have the house to myself during the day! Maybe I can figure out how to bring in some money from home! (*****If any one knows of any jobs that are legit to do from home or the Internet from home please let me know!!!*******)

Some of you may not know that we bought the house we are living in and have tackled doing the basement remodel ourselves. LOL, that's been a real chore! We finally got all the Sheetrock put up now all we have to do is start taping and muding. FUN FUN, NOT!! But it will be worth it in the end. We added another room so instead of a 3 bedroom we are now a 4 bedroom with the possibility of a 5th bedroom. We also remodeled our upstairs bathroom, which we actually did when we first moved it. I will get pic's on here when we get all done!



So that's pretty much it, let me know how I did! Miss you all
